events, congratulations and thanks to all of you who watched, read it, and wrote about it and thanks for watching. >>shepard: they meant well. >>megyn: i felt bad for doug schoen. go buy it, "hopefullyless divided." >>shepard: the news begins anew on "studio b" today. a new poll, good for one and not so much for the other, this pulled ahead. the biggest lead to date outside the margin of errors. intelligence sources say the attack on the consulate may have been a spur of the moment strike and the intended target was likely the c.i.a. that is new. more bad news for folks looking for work. jobless claims are on the rise after hitting a four-career low.

that is all ahead unless breaking news changes everything. this is "studio b." first from fox at 3:00 in new york city the presidential candidates back in the same room tonight setting to attend an annual charity event in new york city where they will likely set politics aside and poke fun at themselves but today the ceasefire has not quite caught. >> the governor romney took another stand trying to sell us this $5 trillion tax cut that favors the wealthy. he took another swing at it. instead of telling us how he paid for it he said, i let you know after the election. >> have you noticed something? president obama is not telling you what his second term plan would be.

he is not saying that he is offering anything new. all he is offering is four more years of the same. >>shepard: governor romney is shown to be ahead of governor romney 52 percent to 45 percent outside the margin of error and the biggest lead in the survey today. the average of all the polls show they are a point from each other, a dead heat. now, carl cameron, this is governor romney taking a break from the trail. >> yes, all about debate preparation, but he is really going light on the campaigning to go heavy on debate prep. it is a big deal getting to 52 percent, and he wants to spend all the time he can before monday's foreign policy debate and he canceled the economic speech he was going to do tomorrow and put his wife on "the view," so she can debate

prepare. >> do you think access to contraception and abortion is an economic issue? >> you know, again, i would love it if you would get my husband on coach and you could go down with that all you want. what i know is what i can tell you and what i can reflect about my husband and who he is as a person and how he will respond and how he will govern. >>carl: the courtship for the women's vote is on and it helps to have a spouse who can handle the "view," apart from the event tonight there is an amazing event tomorrow in daytona beach, mitt romney will hold a rally in daytona in the middle of bike week on a friday night amid half a million bikers, mostly on harleys.

>> the president is rallying support in new hampshire. >>carl: he recognizes mitt romney has momentum and he needs to catch up. he is pounding on romney's policy positions. >> you have a tax plan that doesn't add up. you have a jobs plan that doesn't create jobs. you have a deficit plan that doesn't reduce the deficit. new hampshire, you have heard of the new deal in you have heard the square deal, the fair deal? mitt romney is trying to sell you a sketchy deal the we don't need a sketchy deal. we know better. >>carl: the romney campaign says the president is misleading about the position of mitt romney in an attempt to stop our distract voters the issues and deal with the poll numbers. it is going to be an amazing close. the state of wisconsin is a toss up and the battle ground states are expanding for the challenger

three weeks before the election and he is over 50 percent, historically comfortable territory as a challenger and not good as an incumbent. >>shepard: it is the trend, 52 percent to 45 percent. the washington bureau chief of the "chicago "sun times"" what is the mood in chicago? >> they have to focus more on locking in the early vote in iowa and ohio and other states and get your town out, both campaigns are focused on early votes if nothing else to diminish the third debate or another turn of events. the campaign in chicago thinks they can't lose because they have more pathways to the battleground states. what we are seeing is romney is putting more options on the table for him because he may have more battle ground states, more paths to 270 electoral votes than obama campaign

thought he who is. that is an option for him now with the new polls showing he is improving in ways that were not anticipated. everyone, i think, always did think this would be close. >>shepard: everyone on this air said it from the beginning. i wonder if there is an enormous shift in resources because of the new paths to the electoral count. >>guest: by putting more states in play both sides have to devote resources they may not have anticipated such as in wisconsin. there is a lot of money that both sides have. we will know after the next few days and probably after the next debate who is putting money in, in the final cut. the states that will be in the top tier will be ohio, florida, and iowa, and virginia. >> thank you. 15 c.e.o.'s from the largest banks and insurance companies sent a letter to the white house and congress. they call for a bipartisan deal

to avoid the fiscal cliff. we are going to hear more about that, the spending cuts that will start in january. there are a lot of economists warn us in the strongest terms if the president and congress do not come to a rescue it could push the country back in a deep recession. a story concerned in the "washington post" dying how president obama plans to veto any legislation that keeps us from going over the cliff unless and until republicans agree to raise taxes for the wealthiest americans. this could come down to the wire no question. according to "politico", house speaker boehner has not spoken to the president about this in four months and added for now "it's all about the election." now, ed, the economists are saying we need a bipartisan

deal. >>reporter: they are saying let's wait until after the election. with the white house confirming the president would veto any legislation that would delay the massive spending cuts and tax increases coming at the end of the year, this puts us in a position where economists say we could sink into a recession. a romney can today charged that the president is pushing us toward that recession by not working with the republicans on the deal and the president countered by saying, mitt romney is not putting his details on the table. >> i asked him and he said, i'm a businessman, i know the numbers will work. take my word for it. now, i will let you in on a little tip. when a politician tells you he is going to wait until after the election, it is fought because they are playing it so good they don't want to spoil the secret.

that is usually not what is going on. >>reporter: the only certainty is they will wait until at election to sort this out. >>reporter: and the president has not had a meeting in months beating up on the president in illinois saying the president has been in part for the dinner that mit my will speak, and he will do jokes there and taping an episode for tonight and speaker boehner saying he should be sitting down with congressional leaders. >> what we see from the president is a lack of leadership. no leadership on solving our deficit problems. no leadership when it comes to the fiscal cliff we will face with tax rates going up january 1 or the sequester hitting january 2nd or the need to increase the debt limit in the middle of february.

the president has been awol campaigning since a year ago labor day. >>carl: the white house denying the president is awol and sees no point sitting down if they will not do what he wants which is tax increases on the table and republicans say they will not do that. that is the key obstacle to a deal and both are willing to play chicken until at election. they want to see who is in power . carl karl the idea they will get anything before the election is ridiculous. the partisan will be loud. it is so nasty there is no way they can get back to the table after the election to negotiate. they know they will negotiate. they will throw everything they can and the kitchen sink at each other so a lot of this is disingenuous. both sides will go make a deal knowing they will not sit down until a. it will be water under the dam.

>>shepard: we talk about the electoral count and the map has changed. i hear each day since the debate, iowa, iowa, iowa, not ohio. iowa. >>carl: if there is a tie and it is up to ohio it is where both president obama and mitt romney expected it to be. if it is a tie and we have recounts some think iowa could an surprise. >>shepard: iowa has been leaning democrat for a long-term and now some of the maps have it as a toss up. >> they are all a margin of error. in the past we would say it is "leaning" but someone could be ahead six, seven, eight or nine points. now it is just a small fraction. the ground game now becomes increasingly important. after the foreign policy speech on monday there is not much less to do but campaign as hard as they possibly can and get as many to vote because new

policies and discussion is not likely to move anymore. >>shepard: have the places where the campaign for the president is allocating money, has that change? >>carl: in north carolina they do not compete as hard. they realized that is slipping away. florida is where they are looking with the debate on monday and after that the president will campaign florida. ohio he hits. that is ground zero. if mitt romney does not win it is hard to put the math together. it is shrinking because north carolina is not so contested. virginia, florida, ohio, and iowa and i they in colorado and nevada. >>shepard: and how much is spent? >>reporter: $352 million by the democrats and over $400 million by mitt romney. >>shepard: do you guys ever go

home? >>reporter: no. >>shepard: two-thirds of college graduates finish with debt. a lost debt. and costs are going up. we have a new report on college loans next. from oil pipelines to normally safe cities, syria's civil war is tearing the country apart. are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today.

>>shepard: the attack in libya, new ever today that suggests the deadly attack on the consulate there may have been a hasty operation, not something that was planned for a long time. as you know militants killed four americans when they stormed the compound on 9/11, among them, the u.s. ambassador to libya, and united states intelligence sources are telling

fox news that intercepted communications suggest that protests of the embassy in cairo may have inspired the attack in benghazi. something along the lines of, look what is happening in egypt. now, it could be a good time to strike. the fact that no terror groups claimed responsibility suggests it could have been a spur of the moment event. we are told that theory is bolstered that no militant videos have surfaced in the past five weeks since the consulate went up in flames. your sources say this may have been some sort of preemptive strike? >>reporter: two military sources say the attack on benghazi's consulate may have been preempted to drive the western presence from the city. specifically the growing c.i.a. presence. this attack on the consulate was planted on the ledge of the perimeter wall in june is

described as a way to measure the u.s. response and there was no significant response. this coupled with the attacks on the red cross and an attack on the british ambassador in benghazi, after the attempted assassination the british pulled out of benghazi suggests the pattern to drive western influence from the city. part of the broader of the by the al qaeda affiliate to establish an islamic state in libya. >> the policies of leading from behind are now compounded by the policies of leading from afar which goes right to your point of pushing the c.i.a. and other people out of their area so they could be sanctuary areas. that is an accurate assessment they are trying to create more sanctuary areas by pushing us out, our diplomats, our military. >> the c.i.a. had no public comment on our reporting. >>shepard: is the ahead of the senate intelligence community is ripping the head of intelligence

for this country. >>reporter: this could be extremely significant. in a rare interview with the cbs station in san francisco, senator feinstein, the head of f the senate intelligence community leaves the blame with the nation's top intelligence officer and called imout by name in the interview. >> general clapper put out some speaking points on the initial intelligence assessment. that was possibly a mistake. >>reporter: that made a link to the youtube video clip. and senator feinstein believes the president's statement in the rose garden condemning acts of terror, covered benghazi in our opinion. >>shepard: tomorrow night fox has a program on the attack in libya, bret baier is hosting what they call a "special report

investigation," airing on 10:00. the next time you send a text while driving a cop could be watching from above. the feds are spending big bucks in some states to keep an eye on what drivers are doing behind the wheel. they are very, very busy. watching you from the sky, to make sure you don't...text! and a choice. take tylenol or take aleve, the #1 recommended pain reliever by orthopedic doctors. just two aleve can keep pain away all day. back to the news.

just two aleve can keep pain away all day. one is for a clean, wedomestic energy future that puts us in control. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now.

>>shepard: it is tough to catch someone in the act to connecticut asked the federal government for money to help in the crackdown to develop high visibility antitexting that will include, reportedly, stationing police spotters on highway overpasses, looking for motorists who might be typing away with their thumbs on their phones. with us now is the assistant managing editor at the "wall street the "wall street journal," parent company of this network. thankfully, we can all sleep well now, because there will be a new revenue stream for the police in massachusetts. >>guest: that guy on the over pass looking down. >>shepard: he is just trying

to bust you. >>guest: look at your blackberry or smartphone. this is a problem. they know it. they see citizens going up as a result people sending messages on their machineors talking on cell phone. although there are fewer states, only about ten, that ban cell phones when you driving, texting is something they cannot see. it is harder for them to see you actually send a message. rather than just being on the phone. most tickets are for cell phone violations for distracting driving. that is what the money is for, to go to the police department to find ways they can observe, spot and arrest someone or get them off the roads before they send messages while driving. >>shepard: the numbers are not all texting. some of it is about eating. or putting on makeup. some it is about children. they can ban small children from

cars. or arrest the children for bugging mommy and daddy in the front seat. >>guest: how many times have you been on the highway and seen someone who is distracted? or just in the city like new york, watching someone take a left-hand turn and be on the phone and not see the pedestrians? it is happening more and more. people are walking on the sidewalk and walking into the sidewalk in the way of traffic because they are absorbed with sending the message. it is a problem. the department of transportation is saying, what can we do? it is getting worse, more and more people are using the devices. that is what this is for, a tote call establishment program. >>shepard: it is a new revenue stream. >>guest: well, right. it used to be on 42nd street they would have brownies waving traffic on so the traffic would slow, right? they don't have those anymore. now they are writing tickets for packing, come out of the street, the intersection, because it is

a rest now stream. >>guest: they will find a way to get you when you text. >>shepard: they will. the government should actually put a monitor in our cars. >>guest: that could be something the guy on the over pass will be looking to do. >>shepard: those are shovel ready jobs, jonathan. >>guest: we just need to have a driver. >>jonathan: and a car to go with the driver. >>shepard: thank you. next, a look at roller coaster jobs market and the impact on overall economy. gerri willis will explain the huge spike on the jobless benefits after the number seemed to plunge. a rare form of meningitis has spread to a new state and there is a new report on how one of the first people killed from that infection and what it means for people across our nation as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news from "studio b" today.

[ female announcer ] they can be enlightening. hey, bro. or engaging. conversations help us learn and grow. at wells fargo, we believe you can never underestimate the power of a conversation. it's this exchange of ideas that helps you move ahead with confidence. so when the conversation turns to your financial goals... turn to us. if you need anything else, let me know. [ female announcer ] wells fargo. together we'll go far.

>>shepard: this is "studio b" at the bottom of hour and time for the tonight news. new jobless claims spiked last week after unexpectedly hitting a four year row a week earlier. all of the conflicting reports could be a bit confusing. the labor department reports that the dramatic up-and-down data is because of seasonal factors. the latest numbers show first-time job applications for

jobless benefits up 46,000. now we have gerri willis host of "the willis report," on fox business network. i don't understand why the numbers are all over the place. >>gerri: it is not exact sentence. there are 300 million americans, 24 million out of work, so they revised down the previous week which was such a surprise down to 342,000 claims from 339,000 so the numbers were skewed because california did not give us all of the numbers. now they have and we can make more sense of it. >>shepard: not great numbers but terrific manufacturing numbers. >>gerri: this is pointing, federal reserve bank of philadelphia saying big swing for de'ses on manufacturing after a poor global economic outlook and china is slower but new we have improvement here at home, manufacturing is higher and the first time in six months

we have seen that. good news there. hope we have a trend. >> one report does not a trend make but we can be hopeful. >> we are learning the mountains of debt that many college graduates face are getting bigger. college loan debt soared to an average of $26,600 for each borrower in a class of 2012 a jump of 5 percent according to college access and success institute. that figure is the highest we have seen in the seven year history. the report also found that two of every three college students finished school with student loan debt. we have the chief business correspondent author of "rebounders how winners pivot back." college debt, is it looking like the new bubble? >>guest: some think so. this has been a trend. we have seen more and more with more and more debt.

not average is $26,000 or $27,000, some have $50,000 or $100,000 in doubt. i don't think it is anything like the other bubbles such as the housing bubble. there is question whether we will see defaults, a spike in defaults the next few years. we could. it will probably not be on a scale that threatens the financial system or the educational system. but it is a major difficulty for a lot of people. >>shepard: for a lot young people, half of all college student whose yacht do not get a job out of college in their field. >>guest: that is the problem. people can not start paying off the debts. you get a grace period but if we do not do something ait would the job problem you cannot pay down that much debt with a retail job. that is the real problem. on the flip side, i am less alarmist about this than other people because if that debt you are getting something valuable,

the average price of a new car is $29,000 so that is close to this amount of debt and you are were better off spending that money on an education. the data is fillmore than convincing that it pays to have a college education, consulting firms are saying we will have a shortage of college graduates, a major short average by 2020 so you need that education. it is great if people found better ways toship for college and see if they can get it in three years and lower the online options. >>shepard: the price of college has gone way up. >>guest: we need a price war, something that looks like competition to get the costs to come down. there is just not much that will force colleges to lower tuition. >>shepard: more great news. thank you. health officials say the rare form of meningitis has spread to a 16th state, here in new

york, and has killed another. the death toll now is 20. today the centers for disease control confirmed a link between the outbreak and fungus found in unopened steroid vials from a massachusetts pharmacy. now top scientists say the doctors need to detect and treatment the infection early or the patient's life is at risk. researchers released a report on one of the first patients to come down with to form of meningitis. after one week, one week after the tainted injection the 51-year-old woman complains of a headache so bad it made her face hurt but emergency room staff sent her home after they found no evidence of a brain tumor or stroke. she returned to the hospital the next day showing more warning signs of meningitis and less than a month later she was dead. the researchers say the evidence proves the need for rapid diagnosis and treatment. the centers for disease control reports that more than 250

infections across the states in yellow on the map. >> if syria, there are efforts for a peace plan with amateur video showing victim acknowledgers digging for survivors with government war planes killing 43 people in an attack. we cannot confirm that. activists say 30,000 people have died in the conflict that began 19 months ago. syria's government-run news agency claims that rebel fighters blew up the pipelines near the bodier with iraq. jonathan hunt is with us. there are growing concerns over the types of weapons. >>jonathan: we have known the weapons are getting to the opposition in syria. we have known that some of those are getting into the hands of the jihadist element among the opposition but the concern now is the type of weapons. increase gore sophisticated surface-to-air missile weapons

that have been used to take down syrian government war planes. for u.s. officials are about to shed a tear over losses by assad's forces but the problem as the state department spokeswoman said, is what happens next. >> everyone shares the concern about extremists hijacking the efforts of the syrian people to have democratic change there, everyone is concerned about the proliferation of dangerous weapons or that some of the most dangerous weapons in assad's arsenal could fall into the wrong hands and be abused so this is something we are focused on together. >> another example of the difficulty of knowing what and who will follow bashar al-assad as president. >>shepard: we talked about the tens of thousands who are dead but many thousands more are missing. >>guest: the same activists keeping a tally of those killed now say that up to 28,000

syrians could be missing, dug the civil war. thousands disappeared at hands of the militias which is the "ghost militias." the commission on human rights talk how urge entity is for the international community to act. >> thousands and thousands of men and women and children have already been killed, injured, tortured, displaced. it should not take something as drastic to shake the world into taking serious action to stop this kind conflict. >>jonathan: and it is worth noting she suggested that the u.n. and the international community is helping create the circumstances for a wider regional conflict, helping to create a wider regional

conflict. >>shepard: thank you. >> high school cheerleaders fighting back after religious slogans were band on the football field. a judge ruled on the court battle and possible twisters ripping through homes and leaving thousands in the dark. the danger is not over. wicked weather is ahead. in america tay we're running out of a vital resource we need

>>shepard: there was a contemporary injunction that allows cheerleaders in a town outside houston to use bible verses on banners at high school football games. the public school district band the signs after a group called freedom from religion foundation complained claiming the signs violate separation of church and state. the cheerleaders argue that is a free speech issue and they sued. the state attorney general agreed with the cheerleaders as did the state republican governor rick perry. today, the judge ruled the

banners can fly unless and until a final ruling comes next summer. trace, what happened in court? trace an atheist group brought the case but the public schools were battling texas because it says the students have a right to express religious beliefs and the stated attorney general and texas governor said that means the students, the cheerleaders have a right to make the banners and fly them. but the school district argued that the texas educational code was unconstitutional in the end a judge ruled in favor of the cheerleaders and a former prosecutor predicted this. >> the judge will uphold it on two grounds. he will say there is an aspect of individualality but assume we attribute to the words do not go

over the line because they do not promote religion. >> this just came down an hour ago the school district has not given a statement but will do to in short order. trace the bennetters will fly for the season and the high school's main rival will put bible verses on their banners and in june there is a hearing in the school district which wants it to be a jury trial then it will make its way up the legal chain for the court system after the supreme court ruled against another texas high school for having prayers before football games, having students lead the prayers. experts say if that case it promoted religion. in this case it is students expressing their religion. we will find out? there is a difference. >> our meteorologist are

tracking a power will line of storms that knocked down trees and power lines across the southeast united states and injuries seven people. the storms spawning possible tornadoes. look at this. you can see how the wins hurled the branches like spears into the mobile home north of memphis shattering whens and tearing apart roofs. rick is in the weather center. which areas are hit the hardest? rick: a deep south, where you are from, parts of mississippi and tennessee, a storm over the last 24 hours, a weaker storm now but you can see the heavy lines moving through 7:00 or 8:00 last night. it spawned six reports tornadoes: arkansas, mississippi, tennessee. moves off further to the east at this point. very rough night last night. >>shepard: they moving fast. rick: the storm is politicalling apart.

the radar shows storms here and later tonight we will knock talk about severe storms but heavy rain will fall overnight tonight into tomorrow morning and across the mid-atlantic to the northeast and we will wind it down. the other side of it on the back end, very high winds are continuing across parts of the lanes and areas from oklahoma and toward the dakotas with winds from the storm at 75 miles per hour. >>shepard: thank you. well, next time you drop food on the floor maybe you should not eat it. you have heard of the five second rule, down goes the cookie, one, two, three, grab it in five seconds. you never believed that, did you? bad news ahead.

>> you drop something on the floor, five second rule, right? you can still eat it? food that falls on the floor is not safe to eat even if only for five seconds. especially if it falls in the dog's...well. researchers found that plenty of time for germs to attach themselves so the lesson is, if you see an order of french fries on the ground revein -- restrain yourself. doctor, i don't know if anyone thought this five second rule was real. >>guest: people may have thought so. it is a crazy study. to put it in perfective in the study they used three baby carrots, they used one carrot as a control carrot and the three baby carrots went to two homes and they put them on four surfaces: the counter top, the sink, a tile floor and something else. they showed they all picked up

bacteria after five seconds. i don't have a ph.d. in microbiology scare rots but probably somebody from san diego state university does. >>shepard: and counter top was worse than the carpet. >>guest: it was. that was a surprise because people think the floor would be worse than the counter top. >>shepard: the counter tops, we put all kinds of food on them. we do not clean them well. it is a breeding ground especially if the cat walks on there. the lesson is, don't have a cat. cats is been in the liter box. >>guest: the study was tongue and cheek the centers for disease control gives very serious and use will points abouted for safety with information on keeping your counter top clean, how to prepare food safely and 4.8

million people get food disease each year and 3,000 people die from food poisoning a year in the united states. >>shepard: and a lot upset stuck comes that are never diagnosed. the yearlying if may not be doing you good. a medical group publish add study that shows the general medical checkups do not affect mortality. just going to the doctor does not help people live longer. a doctor involved in the study admits this seemed to go against beliefs that regular checkups lead to early diagnosis of dangerous diseases but the researchers say the results show checkups can still be beneficial if they are tailored to the patient. this seems worth while. we do not want to suggest that you do not get the annual checkup. >>guest: the study could be flawed. it is only just reported today but we still need to tell

patients that blood pressure control is important, diabetic control is important, and the study could be looking at a battery of blood tests which is not what the screening is about. blood tests do not pick up significant abnormalities. >>shepard: if you do not get sick often, there is no reason for you to have your cholesterol checked, your blood pressure checked, so that seems to me --. >>guest: you get older it is more sensible to do that? >>guest: it is. there are guidelines for specific age brackets and different countries have different guidelines. >>shepard: don't eat the carrots if they fall on the floor and go to the doctor once a month. >> and haley's comet does not come for another five decades
